Philip Harris Boyle's Law Apparatus: Vertical
Description
Designed for demonstration the column is clearly visible to the whole class without them having to crowd around the demonstration bench. A wide-bore glass tube is mounted vertically in front of a scale graduated 0 to 65cm ³. Zero corresponds to the inside of the closed (top) end of the tube.
Air is confined in the tube by coloured water (not included) contained in a metal pressure chamber which is fitted with a Bourdon-type gauge calibrated 0 to 3.4 x 10^5 Pa. As the pressure in the chamber is increased using a pump (not included) coloured water is forced into the glass tube and the volume of the contained air and its actual (total) pressure are clearly indicated.
The tube is of extra strong glass having a very large safety overload margin.
As a further precaution a plastic safety screen is secured over the front.
- Overall height: 690mm
Pump and Adaptor for Boyle's Law Apparatus is also required for use (B8R08103).
- Permits the demonstration and validation of Boyle's Law.
- Key Stage 3 Chemistry - The particulate nature of Matter: The properties of the different states of matter (solid liquid and gas) in terms of the particle model including gas pressure.
- Key Stage 4 Physics - The Structure of Matter: Links between pressure and temperature of a gas at constant volume related to the motion of its particles (qualitative). Explain why the work done in the compression or expansion of gases is the product of the pressure and the change in volume.
- Please note - an external hand pump and attachment are also required for this piece of apparatus. These are available to purchase separately.
